Can i rinse my mouth with mouthwash after i do the salt water rinse for a tongue piercing?

You could, but: I would stay away from all alcohol containing mouthwashes until it is healed. For now you could just use the saltwater.

Yes: It does not hurt to rinse with mouth wash since it base antibacterial effect, the salt and water just to help it heal faster.
